Questions & Answers on COVID-19 and pregnancy

Pregnancy makes women more susceptible to some infections, including flu viruses. In general, pregnant women have an increased risk of developing complications from the flu.

It is not yet known if pregnant women are more likely to get sick from COVID-19 compared to other people or whether they will get more severe cases.

How can pregnant women protect themselves from COVID-19?

Pregnant women should do the same things as the general public to avoid infection. You can help stop the spread of COVID-19 by taking these actions:

Cover your cough (using your elbow is a good technique)

Avoid people who are sick

Clean your hands often using soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer

Can COVID-19 be passed from a pregnant woman to the fetus or newborn?

We don’t know for sure yet, but so far no infants born to mothers with COVID-19 have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. In these cases, which are a small number, the virus was not found in samples of amniotic fluid or breastmilk.

What should I do now if I’m feeling anxious?
